Any number bigger than the largest number representable by the type simply “wraps around” (sometimes called “modulo wrapping”). 255 is in range of a 1-byte integer, so 255 is fine. 256, however, is outside the range, so it wraps around to the value 0. 257 wraps around to the ...
where the sign makes no sense, and/or where we'd rather have a larger possible range of positive values than the possibility of negative numbers: such as a memory location or file size. When an integer is signed, one of its bits becomes the sign bit, meaning that the maximum magnitude ...
an integer may be used. If an int can represent all the values of the original type, then the value is converted to int; otherwise the value is converted to unsigned int. => To add to the OP: When this conversion is done, how many integral variables are taken into consideration for...
# pack() - converts an integer to raw bytes of a specific length and byte order (e.g. little-endian) based on the directive given# unpack("H*") - converts raw bytes to a hexadecimal string# Directives:## C = 8-bit integer# S< = 16-bit integer, little-endian# L< = 32-bit...
